6 inch slab throughout. If I put a lift in this building, it would be just a 4 post that I would not anchor (I have my other shop for wrenching). 14' walls and I don't know that I would necessarily go that high again. Given what my intended purpose is here, I am doing nothing but heating thin air and adding to the acoustics. I like a lower ceiling as a rule just because it feel cozy.

I left the floors alone (aside from sealing the concrete) due to the carbides on the snowmobile skis. Tracey and I ride a fair amount so we are in and out of the shop in the winter time and the sleds would raise hell with any sort of premium flooring.

I keep my personal cars in this building, wash our personal trucks, and a place to hang and have a couple of :beers:

You should get/make some skates for under the skis and track that you slip on right inside the door. I used them when I had sleds and it's so nice to be able to push the sled sideways into a spot against a wall. Now they hold the plow and I can push that into a corner, when not in use.

My building is just a shell, no windows or inside finish work, so very basic. The guys loved it, as it was the last one for the season and didn't take a lot of time. Concrete was poured the next year.

Yours sitting over a winter from the mason delay was, probably, a positive as you had a LOT of fill and it helps settle and compact it even more than the vibrator did.

Northern Wisconsin is about the prettiest place on earth. Mary and I get up there on occasion to spend time with a college friend. Thank you for posting pictures, Tim.

Congrats. Way to make me feel like a slacker. Still not done with mine.

Looking REAL good! Keep dem pix acomin’!!!!:headbang:

Looks good Tim! Couple questions, how far is it to walk from the house to the barn? And did you do a full plumbing in the barn bathroom etc.?

It's about 50 ft Bary. There is water out there plumbed from the house (wanted soft water for washing cars) but no bathroom. Where it is located on the lot, a holding tank (which is the only way I'd do a shop bathroom around here) just had no place to go. There is a PVC pipe that drains outside for washing cars and a slop sink for washing hands in the mechanical room (that also drains into the PVC). While we are on 6 acres, the topography dictates an awful lot to say nothing for the proximity of the lake.

Yep that’s my predicament . If I would of run sewage my septic/well is 100’+ so I didn’t do it. Probably should of but just rent porta John’s when I have a party!!

Great work Tim. I am waiting for Morton bldg co to break ground on my 42X48 building. I downsized from two homes to one, and part of my collection is sitting outside! I’m also gonna do a 6” slab with radiant tubes in it. No bathroom either. That’s why God made trees!

While watching the NASCAR race this afternoon, I snapped some pics of the shop as it is right now. I still have things to hang and new signs on the way in. I guess they are never done. This is how things look today.......
